Earlier this week, the RNC suddenly cut ties with Strategic Allied Consulting, a company formed by an Arizona political consultant. In Florida, elections officials in Palm Beach County turned over to authorities 106 voter registration forms linked to the firm’s work. The majority of the forms were Republican registrations.

“This is an issue we take extremely seriously,” RNC spokesman Sean Spicer told CBS News. “When allegations were brought to our attention we severed all ties to the firm.”

It’s unclear just how widespread the alleged voter fraud may be. But one thing’s for sure — it’s a hard pill to swallow for a party so focused on finding and proving electoral misdeeds of their opponents.
